Yep, like XMPP but with information disclosure policies if you will. Basically, an option of allowing clients of the same server to know everything about each other (status, IP, custom attributes), and then allow access to the same information to *some* clients from other servers. The context is that I'd like to be able to run my own Skype-like server to be used for friends and family, but also allow people from other servers to communicate with us. In particular, I'd like to accommodate the case of having trust in external peers (and thus allowing them to see our status, IPs, etc.), but not necessarily in their server... if this makes any sense.
